- Facing LDC questions and planning the work
  
  The questions attached to each talk are extracfts from the LDC scetch document. They are meant as guidelines for the speakers, but should not limit the speaker from raising additional points.

    Vertex Detector issues
    
    Vertex detector configuration, overall review of the different options on the market
    
    Speaker: Marco Battaglia
    
    more information
  - 10
    
    Physics potential of vertex detector as function of beam pipe radius
    
    The role of the beam pipe radius and its optimisation for the VTX detector
    
    Speaker: Sonja Hillert
    
    more information
  - 11
    
    TPC issues
    
    How large should the TPC be? How close should the ECAL end cap be to the endplate of the TPC? How much material in front of the end cap is acceptable? How much material can be tolerated in front of the barrel calorimeter?
    
    Speaker: Steve Aplin
    
    more information
  - 12
    
    Forward Tracking
    
    In the forward direction, the FTD is currently a system of pixels and disks. How important is its material. How stable is forward tracking? What are the important performance goals for tracking in the forward region?
    
    Speaker: Klaus Moenig
    
    more information
  - 13
    
    SI-based tracking in LDC
    
    The SIT was introduced for track merging and for V0 efficiency reasons. These studies should be redone. Is the current SIT and SET layout optimal? Which role does the material play in the overall track reconstruction?
    
    Speaker: Aurora Savoy Navarro
    
    more information
  - 14
    
    Forward tracking and the TPC
    
    How important is the FCH behind the TPC? Do we need stand-alone tracking capability in there, or is a simple device which adds one or two hits sufficient? Which technology is optimal for the FCH?
    
    Speaker: Lee Sawyer
    
    more information
  - 15
    
    Particle Flow review
    
    What is the possible particle flow performance? What have we achieved? (this will be a brief summary of results which will be presented in more detail int he PF session on Monday)
    
    Speaker: Alexei Raspereza
    
    more information
  - 16
    
    Calorimeter optimisation
    
    What is optimal thicknes of the ECAL/ HCAL? What is the optimal sampling structure? Is the approach used in the LDC detector so far ok, can it be improoved?
    
    Speaker: Graham Wilson
    
    more information
  - 17
    
    The Muon System
    
    What is the basic design of the muon system? What can be improved?
    
    Speaker: Marcello Piccolo

    Calorimetry and gaps
    
    How important are gaps between the calorimeter components? How important are gaps between the calorimeters and other components such as the TPC? What is the penalty for a round TPC inside an octagonal ECAL, if any? How efficient is the TPC for detecting backscattered particles. How important are these? What is the optimal transition barrel – end cap done? Is the current scheme of a long barrel in front of the end cap optimal? Are there alternatives?
    
    Speaker: Mike Ronan

    The B-field and the tracker
    
    What quality of the field do we need in the TPC, SIT, and other detectors? How can we measure and monitor the field distortions at the required level of accuracy? Can the large distortions in the large crossing angle be accounted for? Can control samples be used to improve the knowledge of the field map? Does it make sense to eliminate the plug, at the cost of a shorter magnet and thus a less homogeneous field?
